Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 with the risk of myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) gene have been proposed as predisposing factors for myocardial infarction (MI) but published reports have given conflicting findings. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to clarify the association between SNPs in PECAM-1 and MI using a meta-analysis of published studies. METHODS: Medline, HuGE...
